Tart Cherry Juice - In addition to the above mentioned herbs for gout, tart cherry juice can be an effective natural gout cure. In my own experience, tart cherry juice is the simplest, least expensive, yet most effective remedies for gout. Along with the other prevenatative strategies mentioned, simply drink tart cherry juice on a regular, daily basis to prevent gout flare-ups. If a flare up does occur, drink more tart cherry juice. It's that simple.
I have suffered with symptoms of gout for many years. I personally have found tart cherry juice to be the most effective way to lessen the pain and swelling related to gout. There have been days that I have been unable to walk due to gout symptoms in my big toe. When this happens, I drink as much as a quart of pure tart cherry juice in a day. By the next day, the pain and swelling are almost completely gone and I can walk again with little difficulty! The key is to purchase 100% PURE UNSWEETENED TART CHERRY JUICE. Do not buy the typical cherry juice you find in the local grocery store as it's usually a mixture of apple, pear, and grape juices with a very minimal amount of cherry juice. THESE WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE AS A REMEDY FOR GOUT. True tart cherry juice will taste much more tart than sweet. If you cannot find tart cherry juice, you can try eating a 1/2 pound of fresh or canned unsweetened cherries. Although I haven't tried it, I've heard that blueberry juice will work, too. Again, make sure it's 100% pure, unsweetened juice. Pure tart cherry juice is generally found in health food stores or in alternative health oriented supermarkets. Tart cherry capsules are also available as a supplement. These contain a high level of the active ingredient found in tart cherry juice and can be a very effective preventative in treating gout naturally. |
